Stock hooks on the old warts were/are absolute garbage. I put EWG short shank Mustads on mine. 

Thanks for the heads-up.  I'll look into that.

Got my Bubble Blade Fogys in the mail today from @Siebert Outdoors. Wow that's was pretty quick delivery. Fixing to tie one of them on and hit the pond in the boss man's kayak! 

I hadn’t seen these before, this is why I can’t check this d**n thread, now I have to have them. 

 

 

was in Sidney, Ne so had to stop at cabelas and want to try and see what the hype is all about .. will be moving to the twin cities 

Stopped at Holloway Outdoors on my way home yesterday and picked up a replacement 3/8oz Dirty Jigs Tackle green pumpkin swim jig for the one I lost last weekend. I believe in a prior post I referred to it as a Dirty Jobs Tackle swim jig. Oops my bad! Also picked up a pack of Zoom green pumpkin Z Hogs. Used the Z Hogs shortly after I got home tied on my spinning rod with an 1/8oz bullet weight unpegged and caught a couple dinks. Didn't take pics, but they work.

Rode my son's bicycle back to Holloway Outdoors a little while ago. Picked up a 3/8oz V&M Pacemaker pulse swim jig in shadow craw color and a pack of Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craws in green pumpkin. 

The last 3 months at the assisted living facility (Pleasant Meadows ) I have made great progress where I have under gone intensive one-on-one and group therapy sessions daily which has worked wonders warding off the bait monkey ... Unbeknownst to me involved a final test celebration cake and buried inside were a burner phone , a catalog of new arrivals from TW and a 15% off coupon ...  In less than 10 minutes I racked up over $1,400 with TW and that was just for soft plastics !! ... I have now been transferred to:  Secondary Point Maximum Security Prison for repeat bait monkey offenders  where I have been given a six month sentence to think about my transgressions - the bait monkey continues to be crafty and oh so powerful !!

First Megabass lures i've ever owned. DSG had these discounted a few weeks ago. Largest amount I've ever spent on a bait order. Hope they live up to the hype. 

How much was the discount?  Just curious since i see megabass isnt discounted a whole lot from what i see.  Their usually excluded.

DSG had a pretty good discount on them earlier in the summer. I think the 110s were around $15 or $16. Last time I checked they still had some megabass discounted on select colors. But it was more in the range of $4 off. The trick on DSG is you have to put them in the cart and and see the price there. They don't advertise the price. The discounted items say "see price in cart" or something along those lines. 

Didn't have much time this morning at Wally World before work. Been needing to get another one of these so I picked up a 3/8oz white Arkie jig. I was unhappy it didn't have a baitkeeper like my other one had though. 

planning on fishing jigs really slow this weekend and i'm out of my usual siebert footballs so i had to get something to use this weekend figured i'd try tungsten and then maybe i will be ordering tungsten footballs from siebert this winter and some kvd chunks because i want to try them out 

 

Upon arriving in Shreveport, for my move back, we had to pass by Academy on the way to the house. So we stopped there for a little while to browse. Bait monkey got me for a little more than I planned. Was hard to resist due to some of it was on clearance. Ended up getting some Sufix 832 Advanced Superline 30lb braid with GORE performanc fibers, a 3/8oz H2O Express spinnerbait in foxy shad color with a gold willowleaf blade and a nickel Colorado blade, a pack of Strike King Rage Tail 3.75" Rage Swimmers in green pumpkin color, a pack of H2O Express 5/O EWG offset heavy wire hooks and a pack of Eagle Claw size 2 dual lock snaps. Went fishing at the duck pond afterwards and ended up losing my Booyah Pad Crasher sunburn color in a tree on the other side of the duck pond(not used to be able to cast to the other side of ponds like that.. lol). Went back to Academy, on the way to the house, so I could replace it. Picked up the Poppin' version of it instead, it was 3$ cheaper and I've been wanting one anyways and also picked up my first jerkbait an H2O Express Model SJS suspending jerk shad in American shad color. Hoping to get a way out to a body of water today and see if I can catch something to post.

Yes, it is always a requirement to stop and buy fishing equipment! 

 

Good luck in Shreveport.  Catch lots of fish.

Thank you sir! Indeed it is a requirement to stop and buy fishing stuff when I have the money to do so...lol! ?

So far this week I’m good for 6 Realis Spinbait 80GFix and a new rod and reel. 

Bait monkey has got me bad last 2 weeks. 7Ft medium halo casting rod, daiwa fuego 8:1 gear ratio, And now a denali Rosewood 903cb.

Bait monkey has bit me the past couple of weeks also, last week was a Reaction Innovations Vixen in Clear Ice and this week started off with a River2Sea Rover 128 in Ghost Minnow. That's it, I'm done for this season as up here in the North the season ends November 30th. I may ask for some new lures and terminal tackle for Christmas but as far as actually purchasing new lures myself I'm done...until next Spring :).

It's been a couple of months since I bought any tackle...am I sick?

It hit me today, G loomis E6X marked down to $ 130 from $ 200. Couldn't resist.

Bought this from DSG.  Somebody messed up and miss marked the Megabass lures to 75% off.  I took all they had.  Manager wasnt too pleased but honored the pricing.

im trying to fight the bait monkey off until black friday hopefully i can controll everything in my tw cart until then

Shimano Metanium, 150HG 25% off. It's on the way.

 

Saw it at field and stream. We shall see how it goes!
